Where will you be watching USA-Honduras?

The U.S. Men’s National Team will attempt to move a step closer to Brazil 2014 when they kick off the Hexagonal round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying in Honduras on Wednesday afternoon, a game that has been highly anticipated for months.

The Americans’ visit to Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula will be televised on beIN Sport, a network which is still not offered in all parts of the U.S., but there should still be plenty of viewing options at local bars for those hoping to catch the Americans in action this afternoon. If work or other obligations have you hamstrung, make sure you stayed tuned to SBI for all of your in-game commentary and analysis.

Where will you be watching tonight’s game?

come down to Denver! but Conor Oneil’s should be playing it or the Lazy Dog thats were we used to go back when i was there.. i would check b4 to make sure they have bein. boulder needs a real soccer bar like denver!

I would say get there at noon. O’Brien’s is tiny. I know that Tom (the owner) is basically a co-founder of AOSD and a great guy, but that place seriously limits the viewing parties and subsequent growth of the group

All the hate on beIN is very misguided. ESPN would have these matches if ESPN wanted them, and ESPN would have wanted them enough to bid enough to get them if their ratings from past matches were high enough. BeIN just filled a void and ESPN redirected funds in accordance with the demand, namely to El Tri.

And the revisionists are up and running. Since ESPN is running European friendlies during the afternoon and Mexico tonight, the “horse’s mouth” excuse of cost no longer flies. Since they can clearly spend enough for El tri — who can likely command more, not less — the excuse has to change. Now it’s claimed cost-benefit, ie, US fans don’t bring ratings to justify the cost. So ESPN will show everything but us and hide behind ratings?

Does the self-loathing ever cease? Am I supposed to applaud them showing everything but the game most of us want to see, because there just aren’t enough of me? “It’s a business.” Well, at least we’re getting down to brass tacks and they can lay out there to crabby loyal fans how it’s better business to show everything but the US road games.

Perhaps it’s time to throw on the table that like CNN and such ESPN is increasingly an international network that may no longer be as interested in US soccer in and of itself. What rights sell better to their global audience? Probably not us right now.

Lest people act like it’s all rational and fair to the fan it reminds me of Houston sports TV where all the major teams save the Texans (including Dynamo) are on a Comcast branch fewer than half the city gets. The teams are onboard because some of them own the branch, and Comcast is gunning for a substantial per-subscription increase from the cable providers at the same time. Pawn in a game of kings.

From my couch in Paris. I’m probably one of a very few who likes the beIn Sport situation… I think the Scotland friendly was the only game last year that ESPN chose to put on their channel here (ESPN America).

You’re not alone. I love BeIN – now that I have it. Most people poop on it because of its limited access. Once more cable providers get on board, the masses will see it’s a quality network. And Terri Leigh is easier on the eyes than Wynalda.

Bunker & counter – They will be playing for a tie, and a win would just be bonus. 0-0, 1-1, 1-0, the chance of too much screaming is minimal. If it comes to that though, just explain that your just really worried about the state of the company, that all these guys around here in suits look like their up to no good, and that the squirrel outside the window has been eying your lunch and somebody needs to tell security.

Any torrent sites where I can download this? Curious if anyone knows if there are places to get the game after it’s over? I am working in Canada (not televised here, so I can’t record it) and I am working during the game, so I can’t watch on the internet.

Well, I called ours (in New York’s Dutchess County), and no one could give me a definitive answer. They seemed to think that they should have it, but I had to spell beIN a few times to a few different people.

I’ll be recording on my DVR and watching after work. Channel 400 on Comcast in Chicago if you have the sports and entertainment package. Wish they had HD, I’m sure they’ll get there soon. At least we get it!

You can blame that one on Honduras. I’m pretty sure I read that they moved it to the middle of the afternoon so that the heat and humidity would be worse for the US. So if you’re keeping score, Honduras is at fault for this being on bein Sport and for the terrible time of the game.

There is a big difference between having paid for rights and having them visible on cable providers and becoming successful. Ahem, Setanta. Rights equals signing a check. Hence other games were on PPV.

Mexico has also held Azteca games during the day. Does Olympic Stadium have floodlights? I think this is (at least somewhat) developed countries probably strategically using scheduling provisions (primarily intended for un-developed countries that might not even have lit pitches, hence they HAVE to play a day game).

Such a great place. So jealous. I was lucky enough to be in Albany during the Confed Final vs. Brazil and that place was rocking! The garage door was open, place was overflowing, and many, many, many USA chants drowning out the handful of boisterous Brazilians

G**d** matchtracker!! Employer monitors web traffic and some clueless person scheduled a call during the first half so I can’t leave even if I knew a sports bar showing it. Hope to watch it this evening via illegal stream of rebroadcast.

Hmm…Haven’t tried this, but if you put a portable linux distro on a thumb drive and boot your office PC (or Mac) from the thumbdrive linux, you might be able to get around the traffic managing software. I was able to get around network security software at my university lab doing that. The network software only dealt with the Window’s machines and ignored the PC that I was using.

I was going to head to The Banshee in Dorchester, MA but I just found out that Parlor Sports in Somerville is opening at 4 for the match, so I can head around the corner instead of cross town. For anyone else in metro-Boston, Phoenix Landing in Central Sq Cambridge is probably an option as well (they usually air USMNT games but I haven’t yet confirmed that they have this one).

They usually show most USMNT matches and tend to draw a good crowd, though the later starting hex matches may be an issue (as it becomes a club around 10?). Give them a call and see if they’ll have it today. If not, head over to Parlor Sports, which is in Inman (only a 10-15 minute walk from Central).

Don’t know about South City, but I am going to check with O’Neill’s in San Mateo. They are always overflowing during the day on big midday midweek matches (WC qualys, CL, etc), so I think there is a good chance they’ll have it.
